[Raise-faculty] Fwd: Smart Health and Biomedical Research in the Era of Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Data Science (SCH)

Mon Aug 4 15:57:36 PDT 2025

Dear RAISE at UCR faculty:
please have a look at this NSF call on Smart Health with AI.
Due date: Oct 3, 2025. Up to 4 years, $1.2M total.
They say:
"the work to be funded by this solicitation must make fundamental
scientific or engineering contributions to two or more disciplines, such as
computer or information sciences, engineering, mathematical sciences,
statistics, social, behavioral, or cognitive sciences to improve
fundamental understanding of human biological, biomedical, public health
and/or health-related processes and address a key health problem. "

We already have some initial discussions about answering this call.
However, if you have some idea and you need AI support please let us know.

best,
Vassilis and Amit

*Full Proposal Deadline(s)* (due by 5 p.m. submitting organization's local
time):

     October 03, 2025

*Important Information And Revision Notes*

The Smart Health program solicitation has been revised and prospective
Principal Investigators (PIs) are encouraged to read the solicitation
carefully. Among the changes are the following:

   - Themes areas have been revised;
   - Changes have been made to the participating National Institutes of
   Health's Institutes and Centers; and,
   - Proposal deadlines have been revised.

*Synopsis of Program:*

The purpose of this interagency program solicitation is to support the
development of transformative high-risk, high-reward advances in computer
and information science, engineering, mathematics, statistics, behavioral
and/or cognitive research to address pressing questions in the biomedical
and public health communities. Transformations hinge on scientific and
engineering innovations by interdisciplinary teams that develop novel
methods to intuitively and intelligently collect, sense, connect, analyze
and interpret data from individuals, devices and systems to enable
discovery and optimize health. Solutions to these complex biomedical or
public health problems demand the formation of interdisciplinary teams that
are ready to address these issues, while advancing fundamental science and
engineering.

*Award Information*

*Anticipated Type of Award:* Standard Grant or Continuing Grant or
Cooperative Agreement

*Estimated Number of Awards:* 10 to 16 per year, subject to the
availability of funds.

Projects will be funded for up to four years for a total of $1,200,000
($300,000 per year).

*Anticipated Funding Amount:* $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 will be invested
in proposals submitted to this solicitation in each year of the
solicitation, subject to the availability of funds and the quality of the
proposals received.

*Eligibility Information*

*Who May Submit Proposals:*

Proposals may only be submitted by the following:

·         Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs): Two- and four-year IHEs
(including community colleges) accredited in, and having a campus located
in the US, acting on behalf of their faculty members. Special Instructions
for International Branch Campuses of US IHEs: If the proposal includes
funding to be provided to an international branch campus of a US
institution of higher education (including through use of sub-awards and
consultant arrangements), the proposer must explain the benefit(s) to the
project of performance at the international branch campus, and justify why
the project activities cannot be performed at the US campus.

·         Non-profit, non-academic organizations: Independent museums,
observatories, research laboratories, professional societies and similar
organizations located in the U.S. that are directly associated with
educational or research activities.

*Who May Serve as PI:*

There are no restrictions or limits.

*Limit on Number of Proposals per Organization:*

There are no restrictions or limits.

*Limit on Number of Proposals per PI or co-PI:* 2

In each annual competition, an investigator may participate as Principal
Investigator (PI), co-Principal Investigator (co-PI), Project Director
(PD), Senior/Key Personnel or Consultant in *no more than two* proposals
submitted in response to each annual deadline in this solicitation. *These
eligibility constraints will be strictly enforced in order to treat
everyone fairly and consistently*. In the event that an individual exceeds
this limit, proposals received within the limit will be accepted based on
earliest date and time of proposal submission (i.e., the first two
proposals received will be accepted, and the remainder will be returned
without review). *No exceptions will be made.*

Proposals submitted in response to this solicitation may not duplicate or
be substantially similar to other proposals concurrently under
consideration by NSF or NIH programs or study sections. Duplicate or
substantially similar proposals will be returned without review. NIH will
not accept any application that is essentially the same as one already
reviewed within the past 37 months (as described in the NIH Grants Policy
Statement
<https://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/nihgps/HTML5/section_2/2.3.7_policies_affecting_applications.htm>),
except for submission:

·         To an NIH Requests for Applications (RFA) of an application that
was submitted previously as an investigator-initiated application but not
paid;

·         Of an NIH investigator-initiated application that was originally
submitted to an RFA but not paid; or

·         Of an NIH application with a changed grant activity code.

*Proposal Preparation and Submission Instructions*
